The spiritual phenomenon called the Divine Mother has always been deeply interesting to spiritual seekers. Known to sages and saints throughout history, it is the Divine Mother whom we in the West address as the Holy Spirit and Mother Nature. In India, Hindus address Her as Shakti, Maya, Kali, and Durga. She is also known as Wisdom, Aum, Amen, the Word of God. By whatever name we refer to Her, She is an actual entity that exists and can be directly experienced.

The Mother's nature is one of the unfathomable mysteries of life. Nothing can be said about Her directly or positively. Almost everything that can be said of Her must be couched in metaphors; She is described in terms of waves, clouds, lights, fire, voices, music, though She is none of these. I know of no other way to discuss Her than metaphorically. Her existence preceded language. Therefore, it stands to reason that She operates without recourse to or dependence on words. No amount of intellectual understanding can substitute for a direct and personal experience of Her.

It is the tremendous hope of God to engage in a true love relationship with every single human being. Yet there are a lot of people in the world that are lonely that don’t feel God is looking out for them. They don’t feel it. They might know it but they don’t feel it. We say that God is a parent because it makes sense but we have put labels on God that are severely lacking. Still, God will continue despite what we do to raise us as children because that is just who God is. God is not about forcing things down your throat. God is limited by the limit in which we have developed our character. Failed human objectivity is extremely limiting to God. Yet, God would want to express Herself uniquely through each person in their relationship with the creation since there is a mutual joy that God and people experience when there is an open relationship.

God recognizes that God doesn’t have the resources to give you what you want and need. How many times have we degraded God, put God in that position where God has to beg, borrow, and steal to give us what we want, knowing full well that tomorrow we’ll be moving on to the next thing? We must remind ourselves when we are trying to grapple with what is our human responsibility that not only do we have needs but God similarly has needs. The question is where do the needs of God fit into human understanding? Can we, as a human race, say we are responsible enough to accept that God has needs? We don’t have a lot of theology about the concept that God has needs.

We prayed to Heavenly Father, we offered things to Him, we put God’s masculinity in a super subjective role making Him more important in people’s minds, more than Heavenly Mother. Children want to see both parents in God. There is tremendous heartache for God that women were limited throughout history. God wants women to value themselves and God wants to feel value in women, and through women. It doesn’t empower women to have a positive experience of having a baby in their womb if they can’t talk to Heavenly Mother about their experience. If our goal is to relate to God as a being of duality, we need to develop deeper intimacy.

Even as Mother God knows our hearts, She troubles Herself to find Her way through to us. She speaks Her mind, shares Her Heart, and beseeches us to be good, loving and gracious. She knows that the child who taunts is unhappy, the child who bullies, in trouble, the child who ridicules, lost, and most of all, on a world stage, She knows that the child who persecutes others, in the name of goodness, is a child who has not found love, not been comforted, and not reached maturity. This is everyone, not fully grown, needing comfort, and yet to own true love.

Our opportunity to grow is not removed from our grasp, but we ourselves have pushed it like a jar on a shelf out of reach, and at times, further and further out of reach. Each on their own, in their own quiet corners of the world, can give, love, share, and promote goodness, for to refuse to do so, is to become a people of belligerent behavior.

We are not belligerent by nature, but easily taunted to become those who stand up. Can we stand up to ourselves, look ourselves in the eyes and confess to our ignorance, not knowing, fully, or completely, the love of God? We shield ourselves in sacred ground, sacred words, and scriptures, but do we know the heart of our Mother God? She has traversed the years, and She has sought peace and love in Her children’s lives. We must place ourselves on the path to receive Her love and Her education.

The word of God has always been important. It’s foundation in trusting God, not so much set in stone, as in principle, yet how much do we know God? Do we know God as a Mother? Or more to the point, is a Mother in God something we all need?

No one can understand the heart of a bereaved mother, who has had children, moments, and a life-time of sharing snatched from Her. Yet, if we are claiming to love God, love Her, we must not only love Her but come to trust Her.

The first step has to be in understanding Her virtue, Her path and Her honorable character. Our Mother is multi-colored in skin. Our Mother witnessed segregation, braided Her children’s hair, and cut them down from the tree, even as Mary lay with her lifeless son Jesus upon her lap.

Our Mother promotes peace in Her home. She opens Her cupboards, airs Her home and has a fine understanding of love, welcome, honor, and goodness. She does not climb down to the pit of despair, or bunker in an earthen hollow, to run from others. Hers space is above the ground, looking, hearing, and knowing all persons.

We are building a new history but so that our history is honorable, it must be one where it is built with daughters relating to Mother God, and with sons relating to Mother God. We come to new terms of endearment with God. I am invisible. I can’t expect people to communicate with me about everything. We are looking for critical, i.e. meaningful discourse. If it is meaningful, it is valuable. Why is this world so afraid of female power? Our world is afraid because they do not know Mother God, not in theory, a blackboard concept thrown up in a lecture, not in discourse, with God or each other, and not in real experience.

If we do not break the mold of the past, we have to believe in ourselves, our power, not over confidently but fully versed in who we are. Pray and seek counsel with God for solutions. When you liaise with me, you will wonder what civilization will rise and fall and how I will use all the creation to keep you safe. When you’ve grown to the point of addressing real issues, you will command God’s attention and the spirit world’s. Large issues do not require large amounts of money but intimacy with God. For example, I really like the experience in the feminine of having kids hide under my skirt. It lets them know that there is a safe place.
